Mayuko Kamio / Franck violin sonata

[Borge232]

Just to let everyone know that this piece is a bitch to analyze. This guy really loves to expand the dominant, even in the beginning. The chords that are mostly played are nothing but dominant 9th chords, incomplete dominant 9th chords, and secondary dominant and tertiary chords. Great piece in general though.

Very musicien!

Mayuko is the soul to the body of that Strad. Look past the shell of Mayuko and hear her inner soul. Check her Paganini out and you will see what I mean.

I wanna get a girlfriend that can play the violin ;)



[MySuperstar09]

I don't like the tone of the violin.. its sounds muted or something...

[gngn13]

@donesixfour As a professional violinist who's performed this work many times, I can say with absolute certainty that the piano part is far more difficult then the violin part and needs a far more accomplished pianist that the violin part needs a violinist to be effective.

[happyviolinista]

love this

[uhgvitybvouv]

isn't she beautiful?

[miaforgotherpasswrd]

OMG. I wanna like this a thousand times!!!!

[violin12100]

Also, why does the video stop in the middle of the first mvt. and jump to the fourth and play the whole fourth mvt.? I don't really have a problem with this though, because the fourth is my favorite movement.

[violin12100]

@donesixfour I hate to jump in the middle of another argument, but you're wrong. This is a sonata for Violin AND piano, it's a duo i.e. equal parts. So both parts are difficult both musically and technically.

A very creepy looking oriental girl. When are these people going to realize that red/brown hair just looks dreadful with their pale ghostly complexion...

[sophelet]

@winrx That's not very nice. Say something about the music instead.

[jonatanblack01]

@winrx totally disagree. there are many caucasian ppl with her hair colour and complexion that look great. as does she. similarly there are (very few) asian girls who pull off blonde really well. the few that i have seen have been japanese/mixed girls.

[daniel3231995]

@winrx What does nationality have to do with music-making?Music transcends vanity and triviality,it's a universal understanding.It's a singular beauty all in its own,an appeal that is inborn within all of us.Music connects the world.That just comes to show your extreme shallowness - unable to look past superficiality and appreciate Ms.Kamio's amazing musical depth.

[cakiefuti]

I don't like the recording quality.

Yes, Franck wrote a piano and violin sonata.

[hifivetoyoutuization]

I love her vibrato! Such a warm and rich tone!

[drnkrspth98]

Beautiful playing, but a terrible treatment for the pianist... Looks like it was recorded in a studio for NHK (a Japanese TV station). It's amazing the pianist played so well with so little lighting.

Mayuko talks about the piece: "Since it was composed as a wedding gift, I try not to sound too tragic. It is a beautiful piece overall, and its form is pretty free".

[musique55]

love the passion... love the phrasing... great music.

[24NerF]

I was too distracted by the beautiful girl to pay attention to the average music. lol

[helensmoot]

I have played this piano part and it is very difficult. Why was the pianist not even mentioned??

[JustJack66]

amazing, I first heard of this sonata in a PC game "The Last Express".

[rfoley1221]

Why in god's name were those women talking during the piano solo? My guess is this is a competition and they're judging the violinist's playing...but...while the piece is still in progress?...such bullshit

[Bombarde16]

Sounds like she's talking about the first time she heard this piece at a wedding. Agreed, though, pipe down and let the music speak for itself!

[ineedair3]

i think that might actually be Mayuko talking about her experiences with the piece or somthing to that effect. i dont think its a competition.. it seems more like a recital/documentary kind of thing

[achilless]

Don't understand why the pianist isn't lighted. This sonata is as much a piano sonata as it is a violin sonata. The piano part is most likely harder for piano than the violin part for violin. Other than that, great playing.

[donesixfour]

@achilless ... the violin part is one of the most musically challenging pieces for violin, although the piano part is challenging, the violin part is by far harder.

[JPizzle1490]

@donesixfour False, and I'm a violinist who has played this piece. The piano part, especially in the second movement is equally demanding as the violin part.

[donesixfour]

@JPizzle1490 I'm not arguing that the piano part isn't hard, its simply not as hard, or that the piece isnt equally a piano piece as a violin piece, it actually is. I am simply saying that the piano part is not as challenging as the violin part is musically, and technically.

[zzxxyy543]

@donesixfour I don't agree, there is a great deal going on in the piano

, I would rate the difficulty equal if you interprete it pianistically for the piano and violinistically for the violin..

I have tried to play both, but would not post my efforts on You Tube! I am happy to be a listener...

[berniewa2008]

@achilless Both instruments have got their own special difficulties, but you are right, the piano part is intented by the composer as equal, not less important; and he'd good reasons for this. At all very often the piano part (of similar pieces like this) is not adequately honored

[musicbringsmagic136]

A  beautiful piece. Great job, Mayuko Kamio!

[dt10825]

yea not bad

[win081]
